Based on the Univox Unidrive booster used by Jimmy Page. The Doomidrive uses the same Matsushita 2SC859 transistors found in the original unit. Hand selected for tone and low noise. Drive controls how dirty the boosting is. Bottom knob adds another layer of flexibility letting you dial in the desired amount of low end into the circuit. It can be used as a treble booster or full range. Volume controls the output level and how hard the pedal hits your amplifier. That determines how overdriven your amp will sound. Custom steel enclosure made in the USA. True bypass switching. Switchcraft jacks.

The Keeley Electric Mudd is a sticky, splatty, octavey fuzz. It’s gonna do you right when you wanna get off on some fuzz. If you want to stand out in the world of fuzz, it’s gonna happen with a fuzz like this. Based on the the old red case, big blue foot switch machine, the Electric Mudd adds an edge control that gives you some octave-up type sounds. We use a hard clipping circuit with some germanium diodes to give that scratchy edge when you need it.

The Electric Mudd sports the Keeley favorite vintage transistor. The 1960’s Fairchild Semicondutor transistors that have the block glob top and the gold legs. 2N3565 transistors haven’t been made in years. These units are built with all 6 vintage transistors. Why do vintage transistors mean so much to this unit? Low gain and higher capacitance than modern units means that the gain sounds are smooth and warm. Modern transistors in here would be too harsh.

At the heart of this pedal is a very interesting transistor configuration that has been used in some very special pedals. It’s called a “differential pair.” You also see it in the Keeley Fuzz Head and the Boss Blues Driver. I find it particularly important in getting a great tone in certain circuits.

Volume, Fuzz, and Tone, make for simple adjustment in the pedal. Start by setting the Edge control “Off” or all of the way down. That’s going to be more of a classic sounding super fuzz. As you turn up the Edge Control, turn down the Tone Control a bit to even out the balance. As you raise the edge you’ll notice two things: maybe some more compression to the tone and the hint of octaves wanting to pop out.

Everyone from Pete Townshend of the Who to Kurt Cobain, Billy Corgan, Adam Yauch to Dan Auerbach has used vitnage pedals with similar tones to the Electric Mudd.

OF COURSE THE ELECTRIC MUDD IS HAND BUILT! In fact it’s built by an amazing set of builders right here in Edmond, OK.

Compact DI pedal with gain switch, cab simulator, and true bypass.

With the Fender Micro DI pedal, routing your signal direct to a mixer or pro audio system is simple and better-sounding. Using this compact onstage solution, players can quickly and easily convert their unbalanced instrument signal to a balanced P.A.-ready signal while minimizing distortion and ground-level noise. Transmit your signal while attaining quality pro tone, with plenty of pedal board real estate to spare.

Introducing the RAF Mirage Pico Compressor! We have taken the legendary circuit from the standard Mirage and squeezed it into a mini size enclosure. There are no shortcuts here, just tight engineering using top quality components and eliminating the on-board battery. Perfect for our always-on players who want to save board real-estate space. Designed for the guitarist who "doesn't like compression" but does love sustain and bold tone! This compressor is an extremely musical compressor that is extremely responsive and full of clarity! You don't get the squashed attack like most compressors. You only get the fullness and longevity, which, let's face it, is what most guitarists love. The new REV-10 model adds an attack trim pot allowing you to dial in a more Nashville style pluck-y compression or the smooth compression you came to love from the original Mirage, making it that much more versatile! And when it's made in the great state of North Carolina, what's not to love?

Transparency - There are no audible artificial sonic anomalies, imposed on the musical. program. i.e., audible attack and release mechanics. You may ask yourself: "Is it on?" Musical - The tonality of the processed music is very natural and pleasing to the discerning ear. Compression visual indicator brightens dynamically as compression is sensed. Studio Quality in a simple-to-use pedal. Tough, durable and "road ready". True bypass switching. Audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors Audio Gold electrolytic capacitors Precision metal film Resistors Heavy clad PCB

The RAF Mirage is regarded as one of the quietest comps on the market, now through careful research and testing we have pushed the noise even lower with the REV 10

Designed by Tubescreamer creator Susumu Tamura, the Apex808 was developed after meticulous analysis of over 100 vintage and current production Tubescreamer/808 variants over a period of 3 years.

During this study it was determined that the best sounding TS specimens all featured not only a specific brand of IC, but also that the IC in question was from a specific production period.

This IC was subsequently sourced by Mr. Tamura and incorporated into the design of the Apex808. The use of this “hen’s tooth” IC has a dramatic effect on the sound characteristics of the Apex808, generating a transparency, clarity and note-to-note separation so uncanny that it makes other drives sound as if they are being played with a blanket over the speaker.

The Apex808’s hand-selected IC offers the added benefit changing the overtone components of the signal based on input level.

At low levels, the Apex808 generates primarily even-order harmonics. When the input level is increased, the Apex808 generates a blend of even- and odd-order harmonics, creating an overtone series that imitates the preamp and power sections of a tube amp with remarkable accuracy.

The Apex808 allows the user to capture the sounds and feel of the best vintage Tubescreamer without having to play through or pay thousands to do so.
